Even when William Congreve coined the phrase “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”, he could not have envisioned the utter lack of courtesy and decency with which I and many other residents of this community are confronted on a daily basis.
I am referring to what I like to call the “Baby on Board Syndrome”, where many mothers feel as though they are the queens of their domain, and that the rest of the world must either make their motherly lives easier or get out of their way.
The most common example of such lack of courtesy takes place when a person sees a woman with a stroller who needs to enter a store. Naturally, most bystanders quickly react by opening the door and holding it open for the mother with the stroller.
